Question

Last Saturday 16 people worked at the theater. Four people worked the morning shift and 12 people worked the evening shift. They earned a total of $1,032.00. If each worker earned the same amount, how much did one worker earn

Answer 1

Each worker will get $64.50

Explanation:

Each worker will get $64.50

Number of people worked at the theater = 16

People worked in the morning shift = 4

People worked in the evening shift = 12

Total earning of all workers = $1032

Let the earning of each individual = $x

Therefore, equation that models the total earning will be

(4 + 12)x = 1032

16x = 1032

x =

x = $64.50

Therefore, each worker will get $64.50.
